ok so the topic has been flamed to death now.

NO MORE POSTING HERE UNLESS YOU WATCH THE FILM I LINKED AND COMMENT ON YOUR THOUGHTS OF THAT SITUATION PLEASE!

the whole point is not about whining or dying to puffy ack.

the point is there should be a penalty for shooting puffy ack at friendlies.

watch the film i posted before you comment please!

its very small will only take 40 seconds to d/l and watch.

Mech,

it does not matter man. This has been talked about repeatedly and it is viewed by HT and suckups as a BS whine. The people that do it don;t think it is wrong. They will not change. The people that think that the way the 5" gus are being abused/gamed is wrong, will continue to complain about it. However, as long as HT stands behind the gaming of the game, nothing will change.

The people that are into that kind of game play, are waching your film and lughing at you. Embrace the new game and look forward to the mid air powerups. Hopefully, conviniently placed by CV groups so you could catch one and fix your plane after it has been hit by the 5". Don't forget, it takes skill to hold the triger down.

Do it the right way. Use 110s

Killshooter effect for firing air burst at friendly planes : YES

Banning howitzer from manning any gun positions: YES

Making batfink fly only planes made out of balsa wood and tissue paper soaked with lighter fluid: YES

Turning this from a friendly fire issue into into an " I ignored the first angry black puffs of smoke and shrapnel so I could try to get my kill but the ack got me and now I hate CVs and anyone who doesn't agree with me is a suckup" thread: NO

You want to see 5 inch guns damage friendlies as well as enemies, well why don't we just turn off killshooter all together, then it will stop some of the kill stealers when they dart in front of you when your chasing an enemy, and when you drop bombs it kills all around it. bombs and bullets know no friend or foe they just kill or destroy where ever they hit.

Use 110s or 38s...or wait until the submarines come out. I can see the current GV spawn-campers moving out of their tigers and into the U-boats to hunt the respawning CVs at the ports already.

Hijacking the thread for 'no KS at all': NO

Yup.. I came back and played abit.. Loved all the new visuals.. Was going to post about it and give props to HTC for a great looking game, but I was popped by puff ack right over a mountain at about 5k but only about 500ft above the ground.. So, I remembered why I put the game down very quickly.. A shame really.. But whos to care cause I still pay my $15/month..

I run a Mac why would I wanna dl to that? Sheeesh!:D

Whats the big deal with puffy ack? I think it looks pretty. Like butterflies and daisies!:) BTW, do you honestly think while yer sitting in a gun position you can actually see the friendly plane is 400 yards away at 5-7K distance? Huh? Huh?

You forget perhaps thats all the guy in the gun position is capable of and he's just doing his thing?

you're right guys, no one is going to listen.

may as well just lock it.

maybe HT doesnt like threads addressed directly to him, sorry if that is a mistake.

my final word shall be that i would have you all remember i'm not complaining that I was killed. Just baffled that he should be damaged also........

My god, that the solution maybe.......

How about if the 5" gunner was not awarded the kill if the friendly envolved is damaged by the burst. The kill would go to the friendly plane who was 'damged'. Although no structural damage would be sustained, a few little holes would appear to let the friendly know what happened.

An over zealous gunner might be forced to understand when to hold back if he kept putting holes in his countrymen's wings everytime he got a kill.

come on HT, at least lock the thread if you wont reply.

I will say that I miss the trail that used to follow five inch gunfire. At least you could tell that manned ack was firing at you and act accordingly. But c'est la vie.

Like I said, Batfink, what happened to you was silly and gamey, but that's Aces High. Maybe the Zeke was pleading for help from the gunner on range channel. In any event, use this event as motivation to kill the Zeke faster next time.

hmm, that snapshot, I should have hit him harder for sure..... you're right.

then at least the gunner would be avenging a death not causing two.

Actually, that's NOT all that different from what happens already

Wait a minute. Spies aside wouldn't ya wanna get even with all those guys that turned the cv when you tried to land? Or, wouldn't turn it so it ended up getting sunk? Imagine turning killshooter on.

You go hunt the guy down! He'd have nowhere to hide. You could bomb him into oblivian or hound him into the ground. And if he changes side you follow him and stay on his 6! Pull the trigger...BANG! He's taking off again. Bang, he's vulched. Bang! He disappears so you land and do a .goto and hound him some more.

Now imagine everyone doing that all the time. Why would ya need countries in the first place?

It'd be one huge furball FFA!

j/k. as you can see it really isn't a good idea!!!
